i had an tii fucking loved that car loved it right up to the very last day of pulling fuel pump fuses pinching fuel lines pulling plugs and pouring tranny fluid in the chamber then i got rid of it because it wasnt worth it for me to rebuild at the time if you got money to burn this car is worth the investment in terms of enjoyment alone its as fast as enchilada diarrhea and corners like its on railroad tracks but if you are doing it in terms of cost then yes it is a money pit also as someone else pointed out find a respected rotary mechanic im assuming the seller knows about flooding if not then you might have a drivable car you should ask
